3074 THE ZooLocist—May, 1872. 
kingfishers, plover, landrail, swans, geese, and nearly all game birds, together 
with many of the small birds, lend their aid in checking the increase of the 
locusts. How advisable is it, therefore, that the wanton destruction of these 
birds should be put a stop to.’” 
Mr. Horne related some of his experiences concerning locusts in India, 
the species being probably Acrydium peregrinum. Their numbers were 
such that they could often be collected by tons, and they were fed upon by 
almost every description of animal, including cows, camels, goats, &c.; and 
they were also eaten, when cooked, by man; he had himself partaken of 
them. The castor-oil plant certainly had no injurious effect upon the 
Indian species, though they evidently suffered from the leaves of the 
tamarind-tree, which acted as a purgative to such a degree that the surface 
of the ground beneath one of these trees attacked by them had often more 
than an inch deep of their droppings accumulated upon it—R. M‘L.
